After several mass shootings, USA Network has decided not to release the new Shooter series.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, USA Network’s Shooter was previously delayed a week following the attack in downtown Dallas, Texas, where an armed sniper gunned down several police officers, leaving five of them dead. Now a week later, USA Network has decided to put the show on hold until the fall.
Shooter features Ryan Phillippe and Omar Epps. The new show is based on the 2007 Mark Wahlberg film of the same name. Similar to the movie, the new TV show centers on a U.S. veteran and American hero who is wrongly accused of a crime and is trying to clear his name and return to his family. It was originally scheduled to premiere at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19.
It’s important to point out that delays have become common nowadays following so many mass shootings across America. The third season of The Last Ship was delayed following the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. Mr.Robot was delayed after a news reporter was shot and killed on live television.
